Source: academia.edu: A Study and Translation of the GaganagañjaparipṛcchāEkaratnavyūha (एकरत्नव्यूह) is the name of a Tathāgata, according to the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā: the eighth chapter of the Mahāsaṃnipāta (a collection of Mahāyāna Buddhist Sūtras).—Accordingly, “Śāriputra asked: ‘O Lord, where is the splendor of Mahāvyūha universe?’ The Lord said: ‘There is, Śāriputra, the universe named Mahāvyūha where it is located in the eastern direction, beyond eight Buddha-fields, which are filled with dust-like (paramāṇurajas) numerous buddha-fields. There the Tathāgata Ekaratnavyūha resides, lives, and teaches the dharma. Śāriputra, save for the jewel that is the thought of awakening (bodhicitta), any other jewels do not appear in the Mahāvyūha universe. That is why he is called the Tathāgata Ekaratnavyūha’.”.
